Custom Monsters

Nowadays everyone who can afford a Royal Enfield seems to have one. But in my opinion, motorcycling is more than owning a bike, its about building it. And furthur, building a bond with it. Now that doesn't mean you need to build your bike from scratch. But over time, you take away parts of your bike you dont need, add stuff in there that suits your needs and your personality. Its about spending as much time with your bike in the garage as you would with it on the highway. And in the process understanding it, its limitations and its strengths, and being able to make best use of them.

So when two custom Royal Enfields ripped apart the highway from hyderabad to medak and some offroad trails today, the overwhelming feeling that came over me was, "we've created our monsters".

Moto Torque "the launcher"

If your looking to boost your torque, this is the thing for you! I tried it out quiet skeptically and was pleasantly surprised enough to keep it on! The Bikes BHP goes up by about 3 with negligible impact on milage. However it works best with K&Ns. Which makes me look forward for the next upgrade ;)

Time Travel

As you would have figured from the name of my blog, in not much of a pack rider. But every once in a while i love sharing a ride with a biker who loves to ride as much as i do! So when a 1973 Ideal Jawa and a 2015 KTM RC200 hit the streets together, i could tell by the stares and turned heads that it was quite a unique sight!

A timeless classic and a futuristic mean machine, with 42 years of motorcycling legacy between them, cruising along the curves and bends of Lanco Hills.

The ride made me think about how the machine i so love has evolved over generations. And how some species refuse to go extinct!

Can't sleep? Need to think? There's only one solution, ride!

Campanionship

Over the years my bikes have kept me going, in more ways than one. They have been companions that have never let me down, they have carried me home on days I couldn't carry myself, we have spent amazing moments conquering bends on highways, hills, valleys, rocks and rivers. We have taken tumbles together, gotten up together and moved on together. We have spent so much time together on the highways, and in the garage. We have grown older together, raced together, tried to catch the sunset and outran the rain. Human companionship is fickle, but a bike is always there with you till the very end.
